Aldo and Mederick Highlight to display spoiler: { Not bothering with caution, and not minding any messes, the two of you comb the small house from top to bottom. Searching the bedroom, it doesn't look like any clothing or other personal effects are missing. In fact, you find where the missus keeps her clothes, and the trunk is quite full. Looking in the kitchen, it doesn't appear that there is anything missing - there are no bare spots where food or utensils would go. You find a female's cloak in the foyer, one that would probably be worn at night this time of year, but it's still here. In fact, looking around the house, you think it looks like everyone is still at home! Nothing is missing, nothing appears to have been packed up for a trip.}
KIrill, Talfryn Highlight to display spoiler: { The conversation continues, but doesn't seem to lead anywhere. Halvard clears his throat. "Ahem . . . if you please, cap'n, maybe we should be gettin' on with the search? No sense standing 'round here - the tribute obviously ain't on this corner. Maybe we send this one on his own search and get ourselves to work?"}

Kirill says, "I am more than happy to continue this search. I do not know the area well, so I am not sure where to look for a large wagon. But I can continue to look on my own if you wish."
Lord Mederick - The Mayor Thursday September 4th, 2014 11:10:23 PM "Let's go face him! I'll make him confess, if he was the culprit!" The mayor goes out looking for the captain.
Aldo Withershott - The Merchant(Shawn R.) Friday September 5th, 2014 1:19:12 PM
Aldo laughs to no one. He knew it was a dire situation, but watching everyones true colors come out was comical to him.
The Stranger Kirill (Jeff O) Friday September 5th, 2014 4:19:58 PM
Kirill starts walking away from the others, ready to search the area for any large places where a wagon might be hidden, hoping to catch up with Gersemi.

I call back to Kirill as he walks away, "No scents you looking around a strange town yourself. Come with us the more eyes we have the better!" And I motion for him to come.
We we are waking I say to Halvard " Look at this report I got a few days again. We need to deal with this also. It has been bothering my a lot." I hand it over to Halvard to read.

I'm sorry to all of you for the delays.
Talfryn Highlight to display spoiler: { You do not see Gersemi anywhere. When you hand the report to Halvard, he scans it, then stops dead in his tracks. (will post Halvard's reaction below) You sense Halvard is genuine and concerned, and that he had no idea about this before you showed him the note.}
Kirill and Talfryn Highlight to display spoiler: { Having finished the discussion, you both, along with Halvard, prepare to continue the search. Kirill, let me know if you search together or apart.
Halvard scans the report given by Talfryn, and stops walking. "Cap'n! This is . . . why . . . I'll kill this thief, I will, if it's the last thing I do! Sir, with your leave, I'll go and investigate this lead for you." Halvard hands the report back to Talfryn, and runs off in the direction of the guard house. }
Gersemi Highlight to display spoiler: { Read the "Kirill and Talfryn" spoiler, but not the "Talfryn only" spoiler. You get a strong sense of alarm and confusion from Halvard as he reads the report Talfryn handed him. He is flustered and even a bit shocked at the report. If Halvard, Talfryn and/or Kirill split up (Halvard already ran off), let me know which you follow, and whether you maintain and/or recast the invisibility.}
Aldo and Mederick Highlight to display spoiler: { Having found what you wanted, you leave in search of Captain Talfryn. rolled gather info for Mederick, got a 19. You ask the few townsfolk you see if anyone has seen Talfryn, but no one has. The last time you saw him was when you were all at the warehouse. You can keep trying to gather info each turn to find someone who has seen him.}
The Stranger Kirill (Jeff O) Monday September 8th, 2014 5:15:33 PM
Kirill nods and says, "Indeed, I will go with you. Tell me in what places such a wagon could be hidden here in the middle of town."
When Halvard runs off, Kirill asks the captain, "Now what was that all about?"
Aldo Withershott - The Merchant(Shawn R.) Tuesday September 9th, 2014 8:14:18 AM
"Maybe we should grab some of my men also." Aldo says to the mayor. " who knows if the guards are loyal to you or the captain."

Aldo and Mederick Highlight to display spoiler: { With the Mayor knowing just about everyone in town, you're able to ask those you pass about the Captain, and get a good sense of where he was last seen. You happen to pass a townswoman carrying a large bundle of clothing on her back. "Mr. Mayor, sir . . . ah . . . yes, sir, I did see the guard captain. He and a few others were right back there," she points down the street, "all talkin' on the corner."
Just then, Halvard comes running down the street, skidding to a stop in front of you. "Your Excellency . . . Mr. Withershott. I'm sorry to be rude, but I'm in a bit of a rush to get back to the guard house. If'n you need the cap'n, he's back there with that strange ranger fellow."
Halvard trots on down the street. Sure enough, just another block away, you find Talfryn and Kirill.}
Talfryn and Kirill Highlight to display spoiler: { Before heading out, Talfryn hands a small note over to Kirill, saying, [b]"I hope I can trust you with this. My families life's are at stake here. I need to find who has them and where. I think I know who now but not where. I have been comparing hand writing to this note to eliminate people. Do you know are have any information that can help? What skills do you have or can offer?"[b]
Kirill skims the note and finds it quite surprising. The author, whoever it may be, admits to kidnapping Talfryn's wife and daughter. The note gives explicit instructions for Talfryn to appear at the warehouse at a certain time, remove the tribute and load it onto certain designated wagons. Talfryn's failure to comply, or telling anyone of the note, will result in the wife and daughter being killed.}
Talfryn, Kirill, Mederick, Aldo Highlight to display spoiler: {As Kirill and Talfryn continue their discussion, the Mayor and Aldo show up at the corner and call out, "Captain, please wait! We have things to discuss." The four of you now find yourselves standing on the street corner together.}

I demand to know why you did that, and I demand you return the tribute! I am extremely disappointed at you for putting the whole town at risk! I trusted you, and you do this to me! You are now dismissed as Captain of the guard, and consider yourself under arrest! Now, Where is the tribute?" Sense Motive to read the captain's reaction and response: 26
Aldo Withershott - The Merchant(Shawn R.) d20+14=26 ; Tuesday September 9th, 2014 10:54:54 PM

TALFRYN ONLY Highlight to display spoiler: {Before the mayor arrives, Kirill hands the note back to Talfryn and says, "I am truly sorry, my friend. I am unsure of how I can help you, but if there is anything I can do, I will do that. But I have to ask, why would someone do this? Why would someone want to use you to take the tribute when they were able to take it all along? Or do you suspect that there is more than one group at work here?"}
Just then, the mayor appears. Kirill replies, "Good mayor, while I certainly respect your position here in town, and I understand your frustration right now, but perhaps this is not the best moment to relieve your captain of guard." He continues in a whisper, "What will the people think if they have no guard captain and there is an attack about to happen? Perhaps his arrest could wait until the hobgoblins and the tribute are dealt with?"
Captain Talfryn (Earl) AC 20 (T 12 FF 18), CMD : 21;HP 53/53 Character Sheet Wednesday September 10th, 2014 6:38:34 PM "Whoaaaaa slow down there mayor! No I didn't send my family out of town. Do you not think I would have gone with them if I knew the tribute was going to disappear? And what proof do you have?" I retort back.
Lord Mederick - The Mayor Wednesday September 10th, 2014 8:32:43 PM Did the mayor gets anything with Sense Motive? "We know your family left town in a hurry! I don't know which crazy ideas about fighting the hobgoblins you got in your head, but you will not undo my work saving this town! Where is the Tribute?" He turns to the stranger, and doesn't dignifies his questions with an answer.

Kirill Highlight to display spoiler: {As the mayor approaches, Talfryn whispers to you, "Do you have my back? This could get ugly."}
Mederick Highlight to display spoiler: {You pay close attention to Talfryn as he speaks, and he is definitely quite nervous about all of this.}

Everyone EXCEPT Gersemi Highlight to display spoiler: {The conversation continues, though Talfryn seems to be considering his words carefully, eyeing the mayor warily.

Lord Mederick - The Mayor Saturday September 13th, 2014 1:10:45 AM "He stopped being a "trusted" member of the guard, as well as their captain, the moment he stole the tribute.

The Stranger Kirill (Jeff O) Monday September 15th, 2014 6:26:10 PM
Kirill speaks on low tones as he starts to walk towards the guardhouse, hoping that will draw the mayor along, "Good Lord Mayor, I would like to see this tribute found as much as anyone else. I do not desire to die today. But perhaps there is more to this tale. I know not what evidence you have against this man, but even if he did do it, he is clearly not going to take us to the tribute. We need to continue searching!"
Aldo Withershott - The Merchant(Shawn R.) Tuesday September 16th, 2014 1:59:52 PM
Aldo moves closer to the mayor and whispers into his ear. Highlight to display spoiler: { "Perhaps we should just lock him in one of the cells until we find the tribute. If he is part of this mess, then he is already in jail and cannot do any harm to our mission." }

There is plenty of foliage and dirt outside, you're fairly sure you can find a burrowing animal with no problem. You keep an eye out for a few minutes at the window, and quickly catch sight of two squirrels and a groundhog nearby.}

------- OoC who is all in the guardhouse how with us?
Matt C (DM) - 10:15 p.m. Friday September 19th, 2014 11:31:34 AM
The group arrives at the guardhouse to find Gersemi poking around in the bushes outside. Halvard is inside, talking loudly and angrily.
The guards move off to the side, waiting, appearing happy to have a break from the tension of the situation. One pulls out a small flask and passes it around. Given the stress of the night, it doesn't seem too inappropriate.
You move inside, and Halvard immediately rushes up to Talfryn. "She's escaped!" he yells. "That dirty, thieving woman escaped! We need to find her, cap'n! If we weren't sure before, now we know she did it!"
Halvard's word is good: you see an empty cell, it's door closed just as it was when last you were here, and an open, empty cabinet next to it. The room is still orderly and neat, there clearly wasn't a struggle, or even a rushed escape.
Outside, you hear Gersemi yell, "Ah ha!" One of the guards calls out in surprise. "What's that there?" A moment later, Gersemi enters the room, holding on to a wriggling, struggling groundhog.
everyone is together now. Talfryn, Mederick, Gersemi, Kirill and Aldo are present, along with Halvard, and several guards waiting outside.
Aldo Withershott - The Merchant(Shawn R.) Friday September 19th, 2014 11:36:44 AM
"What the hell is going on?" the merchant asks. "Accusations, missing thieves, and rodents. Can we hash this out now? Time is of the essence."
Gersemi of Clan Turen - AKA The Gnome Wizard - AC 14 HP 19 (James D) Friday September 19th, 2014 12:22:28 PM Well, I can't vouch for the thief, but if the story is true I am hoping this little guy saw which way she fled or can follow her scent. I hold out the groundhog for all to see and whisper soothing words into the creature's ear.
Captain Talfryn (Earl) AC 20 (T 12 FF 18), CMD : 21;HP 53/53 Character Sheet Friday September 19th, 2014 4:36:59 PM " I agree with Aldo we are wasting time! Accusations without any hard prof being shown," I clance over at the mayor, "people in bushes, empty cells, we need to find the tribute first and for most or prepare for battle what say we."
The Stranger Kirill (Jeff O) Saturday September 20th, 2014 9:11:32 PM
"We have to find that tribute first, and focus on the thief later. I think we need to continue searching."
Lord Mederick - The Mayor Sunday September 21st, 2014 7:45:54 PM "I found you made your family get out of town in advance! And in a hurry! That is proof enough. Will you confess, or will you wait for the Hobgoblins in a cell? For the last time: Where is the tribute?"
Captain Talfryn (Earl) AC 20 (T 12 FF 18), CMD : 21;HP 53/53 Character Sheet Monday September 22nd, 2014 3:45:27 PM
I calmly reply "I did not make my family leave, if I did, like I said, would I still be here. I grow tired of this and you so if you don't mind I am going take my leave now and start at the task of looking for the tribute again!"
I turn to Aldo " What did you have in mine for negotiating with them. What is your plan?"
The Stranger Kirill (Jeff O) Monday September 22nd, 2014 8:45:22 PM
Before the mayor can explode, Kirill tries to distract him, quickly stepping between the mayor and the captain, "Look, let's find the tribute. If he's hidden it, we can get the tribute, appease the hobgoblins, and then punish him. But if we spend our time trying to punish him now, the hobgoblins will destroy us all!"
Aldo Withershott - The Merchant(Shawn R.) Monday September 22nd, 2014 10:24:35 PM
" I have my goods. Ores, spices, foods and metals worth a good ammount. I can sweeten the pot with whatever money we can get together. The gift doesn't matter, it is me being able to negotiate with them. Ive made deals with some of the shrewdest businessmen and a hobgoblin wont pose as much of a fight."

Matt C (DM) - 10:15 p.m. Tuesday September 23rd, 2014 8:57:56 PM
Conversation continues, with accusations made by the Mayor, though no one seems to back him up. Apparently, Mederick has learned that Talfryn's wife and daughter have left town in the past few days, rather apruptly, and believes this is evidence of Talfryn's guilt. Talfryn doesn't bite on the attack, though the two of them seem close to an explosion.
Gersemi thinks she can coax the groundhog in her arms to give some information as to the thief's exploits upon "leaving" the guardhouse.
Since this is all conversation right now, feel free to post extra to keep the talk going, and if any action is taken, tell me; for instance, does Gersemi cast a spell on the groundhog?
Lord Mederick - The Mayor Tuesday September 23rd, 2014 10:30:17 PM "Where is your family then? Why didn't you tell us they were not in town?"
Captain Talfryn (Earl) AC 20 (T 12 FF 18), CMD : 21;HP 53/53 Character Sheet Tuesday September 23rd, 2014 11:07:29 PM
I turn to Aldo "How much time do you need to be ready? You might want to start on the prep work just in case I will send some guards to help you and they can report back to me when you are ready with things. I would like to get thing ready just in case."
To Gersemi "Do your magic thing and see what the groundhog can do or know, but do it out side please as that thing stinks!"
Then I turn to Kirill and Halvard "Wait for me outside while get things in order here and will continue you looking for the tribute." and I nod for them to leave the guard house.
To the mayor "My family is a personal thing and not of importance right now, the tribute is. we can discuss that at a later time."
Lord Mederick - The Mayor Wednesday September 24th, 2014 10:26:08 AM "If you don't cooperate, at least I won't let you do more harm! GUARDS! Arrest the captain, put him in a cell, in irons!"
The Stranger Kirill (Jeff O) Wednesday September 24th, 2014 12:15:16 PM
Kirill, not making any progress with the mayor, follows the captain's instructions and steps outside.
Matt C (DM) - 10:15 p.m. Wednesday September 24th, 2014 7:05:42 PM
Kirill, Aldo and Gersemi, deciding that discretion is most certainly the better part of valor, decide to step outside and let the men hash out their dispute. One of the guards pokes his head into the guardhouse, but doesn't act on Mederick's command. "Arrest the cap'n?" he asks, quite nervously. "I'll, um . . . I'll let Lieutenant Halvard serve you sir!" With that, he steps back outside, calling to the other guards to stay close.
Halvard, meanwhile, raises an eyebrow and the Mayor, but doesn't move to arrest Talfryn. "Mr. Mayor, sir, I'll wait outside while you and the cap'n here talk, then I'm happy to step back in and help resolve this." With that, he, too, steps outside.
Mederick Highlight to display spoiler: {You and Talfryn are, I assume, going to be talking alone, and you're likely about to receive some sensitive information. Make sure to post in spoiler for anything that only you, me and Talfryn should be privy to.}
Outside, Gersemi goes ahead and casts the spell on the confused, nervy groundhog. Gersemi has a whispered conversation with it, and the rest assume she is asking about the location, or at least the recent activity, of the escaped thief. With a squeek, the groundhog jumps out of Gersemi's arms and runs down the street a bit, sniffing along the way. It stops and looks back at Gersemi, presumably waiting for the wizard to follow.
Gersemi of Clan Turen - AKA The Gnome Wizard - AC 14 HP 19 (James D) Thursday September 25th, 2014 12:26:51 AM
Having waited for the others to finish up their conversations I finish my spell and watch as the groundhog takes off sniffing down the road. Come on guys, Phil has a lead!!! We need to follow him!!! I quickly follow behind the residential rodent.
Lord Mederick - The Mayor Thursday September 25th, 2014 12:04:49 PM "What?!? ARREST HIM I SAID! Captain? Are you trying to take power?"
Aldo Withershott - The Merchant(Shawn R.) d20+12=31 ; Thursday September 25th, 2014 1:06:35 PM
Aldo looks at the Captain for a second, before looking at the mayor. He didnt know which way to go with it, but decided the mayor was more able to help himself then the diminutive halfling. He sized up the caprain one more time( Sense Motive 31).
" Captain, you have your issues with the mayor to deal with, and the both of you need as many guards as you can afford. I have my men, and will have them load up. I'll meet up with you when I am all set, and you can accompany me to the gates."
The whole time Aldo is talking, he is sizing up the Captain. If anything seems odd, he will whisper it to the mayor.
The Stranger Kirill (Jeff O) Thursday September 25th, 2014 5:14:39 PM
Kirill runs quickly after Gersemi and their furry leader.

Aldo Highlight to display spoiler: {You don't sense anything "odd" so much, but Talfryn is very obviously nervous and hiding a few things from the Mayor. He clearly doesn't know what to say or do, and he is at a loss for what exactly to tell the Mayor. You can tell his "secret" is weighing on him and that he isn't doing so well at handling it.}
Aldo heads out of the guardhouse and makes his way off to handle his end of the plans for negotiating with the hobgoblins.
Mederick Highlight to display spoiler: {I'm wating on Talfryn to post, so I can't quite address your conversation, but please continue it when he posts, as you see fit.}
Gersemi and Kirill Highlight to display spoiler: {You follow the groundhog, which runs quite quickly through the streets, dodging this way and that as it sniffs the ground. You're hard pressed to keep up, but luckily the town isn't that big and you reach your (unexpected) destination: the temple. You can hear services going on inside, and can just about make out Rolanda's voice, but the groundhog leads you to the back of the building, to one of the windows on the first floor. It sniffs several times, then looks at the window, then back to you, then the window again. Gersemi, how long does the spell last?}

Mederick and Talfryn Highlight to display spoiler: {Finally, the two of you are alone. Talfryn rises up as tall as he can be and says, "So by the gods if you had anything to do with my family or know where they are tell me now. This is your one and only chance for forgiveness because I will then hunt you down if I find out other wise." He is, in point of fact, quite intimidating about the whole thing, and Mederick takes pause as he sizes up the situation.
Before Mederick can even respond, Talfryn slams a small note down on the desk. Mederick picks it up and reads it over. It indicates that someone kidnapped Talfryn's wife and daughter, to be held until Talfryn complies with a set of orders. Those orders required Talfryn to remove the tribute from the warehouse and move it to a different warehouse. If Talfryn failed to move the tribute as demanded, or if Talfryn otherwise disclosed the contents of the note, his wife and daughter would be killed.
Both of you post in spoiler for your conversation please.}
Gersemi and Kirill Highlight to display spoiler: {The window of the temple looks in on a hallway of doors. A partly open door across from the window tells you this hallway is full of sleeping quarters for the various priests and acolytes of the temple.
Aldo Highlight to display spoiler: {}You arrive at your destination, to find your men standing around a heavily-laden wagon. The contents are well-covered in rain tarps and it is impossible to see the contents, though of course you know exactly what is inside.}

Talfryn and DM Highlight to display spoiler: {The Mayor reads the note... "And you, of course, stole the tribute, without saying a word to anyone, until now. Your family is probably dead, and you killed the rest of us. Well done, Captain. Well done. Now I will have to take us out of this mess, as always. Where did you took the tribute? We have lost a lot of time thanks to you. Please don't make us lose more. And when this is over you will end up in irons, I promise you."}

Mederick Highlight to display spoiler: {You HAVE to keep private discussions in spoilers. I edited your last post, but anyone reading it would get an unfair advantage by reading what you wrote and learning what only you and Talfryn should know. If you aren't with the entire group, put comments in spoilers for only you and the other person to read.}

DM and Mederick Highlight to display spoiler: { In a fit of rage I yell at the mayor "You sir show no compassion, I have done everything for this town, but I am tried of living a slave to the hobgoblins and your deal. We need to live free now and others think the same way. My family may be dead now and I blame you for the situation you put the town as slaves to the hobgoblins. It is time to fight back and become free. This is for my wife and daughter!" I pull my long sword and take a mighty swing at the mayor want to cut him half (attack roll 21 damage - 6) }

DM and Kirill Highlight to display spoiler: {I shrug my shoulders. Where did the others go? I swear, everyone is hiding something but me! How hard is it to be honest when everyone's lives are on the line? How hard is it to stay together, especially when that blasted guard said this was the person to follow!!!...This was where the fleeing captive was supposed to have gone. I guess it is our best option....unless we go back to check on the guard and the mayor? I roll my eyes in frustration. Why is everyone acting suspicions? It is as if I am the only one questioning motives.}
